Two new DoubleTree By Hilton hotels are to open in London this summer under franchise agreements with Westmont Hospitality.

The latest additions are in the final stages of extensive refurbishments totalling £20 million and will join seven other DoubleTree by Hilton properties across the capital.

The Doubletree by Hilton London – Hyde Park, located on Bayswater Road, is situated opposite the Kensington Gardens.

The hotel’s refurbishment has created a 24-hour fitness centre, as well as 12 new bedrooms on the first floor, taking the total number of rooms to 228.

A restaurant with an emphasis on ‘farm to fork’ dishes using fresh seasonal ingredients is due to open in September.
